We find no fault with Mr. Henry James's "Princess Casamassima." It is a great novel; it is his greatest, and it is incomparably the greatest novel of the year in our language. . . . From first to last we find no weakness in the book; the drama works simply and naturally; the causes and effects are logically related; the theme is made literature without ceasing to be life.—Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Editor's Study.

It is as a short story writer that we think Mr. James appears at his best, and in this volume he may be read in his most attractive and most artistic vein.—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. Mr. Henry James is at his best in "The Aspern Papers." . . . For careful finish, minute analysis, and vivid description of both the scenes and the characters, "The Aspern Papers" may take high rank among Mr. James's stories.—Guardian.

Henry James has never appeared to better advantage as an author than in this delightful volume of critical essays. . . .
